MEETUP PLAN:
Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow
Tarrytown is a village in the town of Greenburgh in Westchester County, New York, famous for Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” It is located on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, approximately 25 miles north of Midtown Manhattan in New York City, and is served by a stop on the Metro-North Hudson Line.
Come join us as we take a short stroll up S Broadway in the cosy town of Tarrytown and search for postcards and souvenirs, before sitting down at a local coffee shop to sign and write cards. The actual walk should take no more than 10-15 minutes, on mostly flat ground. See map info below. We’ll be within walking distance of the Tarrytown Metro North station!
Agenda
I haven’t been to these shops, so we’ll see if they have interesting postcards. We’ll meet at the first shop and wait/shop for about 15 minutes for everyone to show up, and start walking to the rest of the shops. I expect we’ll sit down at the cafe around 1:30PM to start signing postcards and swapping cards.

Things to bring
Feel free to bring your writing tools of choice, signature stamps, postcards for swapping, decorative stamps and stickers, etc. This is the perfect chance to swap out or give away those cards you haven’t found the perfect recipient for!
There will be a meetup card; I’ll have a limited number of postcards to hand out. Additional cards are can be ordered, at cost. Please message me at least 2 weeks prior to the meetup to arrange.
Please RSVP if you’re expecting to come, so I can get a general head count. Thank you!
